June 5th – 7th, 2015: Advanced VSMT With Clinical Applications in Neurology, Module I. Advanced VSMT With Clinical Applications in Neurology, Module I = MOVED to Aug 6th – 9th, 2015.
June 10th – 14th, 2015: Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy Post Graduate Certification Program – Module V

July 2015
July 11th – 12th, 2015: Neurology Review. RE-SCHEDULED. New dates to be posted soon.
July 25th – 26th, 2015: Cranio-Sacral Therapies for Animals. Neal Sivula, DVM, PhD, FAAVA: This seminar will introduce the participants to the theory and practice of Craniosacral therapy, a low force technique that evaluates and treats the patient via the cerebrospinal system. Students will learn how to assess craniosacral rhythm and learn treatment techniques that can be implemented into their current treatment protocols. Skills will be practiced on classmates and on animals as well. Craniosacral therapy will add a whole new dimension to your practice and perhaps change the way you approach your patients!
